TurboXS TMIC install help

I just bought a Turboxs top mount used and I cant find an install guide anywhere on the internet or on turboxs's website! I know I need longer Vacume hose lines i dont know how big or long and someone said something about Y pipe connectors?? Does anyone have a link or an install guide for a turboxs Top Mount????

i have that tmic, there is no special instructions for it. the ypipe connects to the turbo, outlet connects to the throttle body. as for the rest, this is what i did, kinda ghetto, but it works.....

Its very simple. what you need is just a piece of hose and a T fitting to replace the breather hardline thats mounted to the front of the IC.

hmmm I dont have a camera available but what i have is the same IC showed in the picture and on the bottom its a metal Y pipe and in the center of one of the arms of the Y is a blue silcone piece and on the end of the bottom of the Y is anouther blue silicone piece with a clamp to screw onto whatever it hooks too.... thats all I have for it.......

Its night time and really cold out so I cant go out and compare it to my stock one right now, but I remember on the stock intercooler it has those vacume hoses going into the IC that you have to unplug to take it off, the turbo XS one doesnt look like it has any places to plug hoses into, so what happens to those hoses........... I know rhenry says something about a T fitting , but what do I T togather and where does the t plug into??????????

Why turboXS doesnt have their install guid on their site anymore I dont know........ Their site is lacking lots of info from what it used to be like 3 years ago..........

ok I think I remember the right side when facing the IC has 2 tubes and the right side 1 tube plugged int the IC, do I take the 2 tubes from the right side and put them on the sides of the T and the bottom of the T plugged into the left side hose?????? Or would that blow up my car, I really have no clue, but thats what I remember the stock looking like, I am going to take a look tomorrow morning, anyone who knows what I have to do please let me know........

Oh I am guessing its the same size as the installation instructions for the front mount which says its a half inch T piece and a half inch hose??? not sure how to hook these togather I am guessing an extender pience kind of like a T but just 2 pieces and then some tape or something???? anyone know how long of a hose piece I need??

Any info is helpfull you guys have put me on the right path so far, I have to remmebr to make sure I get directions with my stuff when I order it from now on......... Thought it would be simple till i realized there were no places to put the old hoses
